Don't you love when someone says "You don't look well"

[luvwinnie]

and you feel fine?! I feel pretty good today and my boss says "You don't look well. You look pale. Do you feel ok?"
The days I felt like I was dying he said NOTHING.

LOL! That kinda happened to me yesterday. One of the ladies I work with asked me if I was feeling ok, my eyes looked puffy. My eyes weren't puffy though. And I felt fine.

Yes, it just makes my day to hear I look unwell.

This really hits home! I have MS, and a former co-worker of mine used to say that to me at least once a week. Now, having MS is enough to deal with, and when you're feeling good and having a good day, the LAST thing you need to hear is someone saying you look terrible. Used to make me paranoid. Then I'd be waiting for the ax to fall. Funny thing, I thought SHE looked horrible everyday, but being the sap that I am, I never said it. People are such jerks sometimes.

I've been dealing with an autoimmune connective tissue disease...so I have days where I feel horrible and think I look horrible...so the days I feel ok the last thing I need is someone saying I don't!

If someone tells me I don't look well I'm thankful that someone cared enough to notice(even if I'm really ok). I don't take it as an insult.

I'm paranoid too, I always think Oh no I guess I'm going to get sick now and I worry about it.
